Make It: Tasty Trolley & Carnaval Brazilian Grill

Originating in Clark, the Tasty Trolley food truck wasn’t getting the love it clearly deserved. Kelli Ritter and her husband decided to take a chance and buy the food truck from her father-in-law. Now residing in the Brandon/Sioux Falls area, the Tasty Trolley offers more than 40 flavors of soft-serve ice cream, super nachos, and the ever-so-popular walking tacos. 605 had the opportunity to get inside the food truck and preview the Ice Cream Cookies that will be one of many options at the 605 Summer Classic.

ICE-CREAM COOKIES

Ingredients

¾ Cup Brown sugar

¾ Cup Sugar

1 Cup Softened unsalted butter

2 Eggs

1 Tsp. Vanilla

½ Tsp. Baking soda

½ Tsp. Baking powder

¼ Tsp. Salt

2 ¾ Cups Flour

2 Cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and mix the sugars and butter until creamy.

Mix together the eggs, vanilla, baking powder, and baking soda. Then add flour, followed by chocolate chips.

Use an ice-cream scoop to get the perfect size cookies, then place cookies four inches apart on a lined pan.

Bake for 12 minutes, or until light brown. Freeze on a flat surface for 30 minutes.

Add Tasty Trolley soft-serve vanilla, or your favorite ice cream, and place in freezer for another 30 minutes.

“These tasty and simple ice-cream cookies are perfect for a hot summer day.”

Bustling since opening in 2005, Carnaval Brazilian Grill knows their meat. Not only does Carnaval offer a wide selection of Brazilian-inspired dishes, there is also live music, a four seasons room, and a diverse array of cocktails. Previously experiencing their Rodizio service (where they carve meat at your table), we couldn’t pass up an excuse to try a skewer or two that will be served at the 605 Summer Classic.
